Yes, but the point is the rich man's dna is that which makes the next generation: < A rich man with many women and many children and much success will die just the same as a poor man with no women and no babies and no success, and there's nothing we can do about it and that's just the way it is. > [In that example you gave]. Nature is looking for the right stuff, has been doing so for a billion years, and is doing a pretty good job, albeit too slowly to keep a real job. Now though, we [meaning the people who can] are doing genetic engineering. So we can make life to order. Much more accurately than the old processes using eugenics [mostly by women but men helped too]. Now we know which genes need to be eliminated [or can be considered for it anyway - such as cystic fibrosis, Parkinsons, and myriad others]. I have invested in eugenics via Complete Genomics. That's not what they say their purpose is, but I expect the knowledge provided will be very useful for women to do just that. Mqurice
